I think everyone can gain from a good EQ.
The nice thing with Accuphase is that the CDP have a digital loop for an EQ so you don't lose in the D/A conversion. I've tried it with a Behringer 2496 and it works very nicely.
The DG58 has just been released and I don't know if it's already on sale.
PS: it is the DG48 in your picture. This is the DG58 with the bigger LCD
